they tell you that love lasts patient and always remains kind. what remains unsaid is that these theories are often tested at 2am on the worst night of your life, when all you'd rather do is sleep.
or that you will be forced to calm tranquility while you kindly listen to the same ridiculous, and evidently unsolvable dilemma over and over again. and the advice you'd die to offer must be withheld in favor of nodding sympathetically.
love declares its place in your life when you watch them walk away, only to realize that your heart isn't just broken, they're taking it with them.
love is the inability not to beg that person to never leave your side, even for one day or night.
love takes the flaws that you'd kill over and turns them into an addictive charm you'd kill for.
love means stealing clothes off of someone else's floor or from inside someone else's closet to wear later because its the closest thing you've got that resembles a hug.
love means that anger and snit fits become your one night stands, while forgiveness, committment, compassion, and loyalty are given permenant rooms in your heart.
love is the moment you realize that a bullet or a blow taken is the least this person deserves from you.
love is when nothing could damage, alter, or halt the tide of feelings....even hearing them tell you 'no.'
love forces you to find in yourself the impossible ability to release them into change...even when it means they'll discover infinite happiness in someone else's arms.
love turns away when casting blame.
love turns outwards when searching for meaning in life.
love listens to the taint of pessimism and terrible doubt, yet in the end sees optimism's reasoning and chooses instead to reinvest in concepts long abandoned.
love produces fears you never knew existed and terrors too wonderful to describe.
love stands on cliff's edge, danger's peak, nightmare's veranda, and yet finds warmth of comfort as it is where they are and so you'll choose to stay.
and love grows crazier every day as you become more and more aware of all you are willing to sacrifice in their name.

Well that is without doubt the very best difinition of love I have ever read. It might be easier to love less and hate more.

Love will take you to the highest reaches of heaven, on eagle's wings.
Then drop you free falling for eternity.
Never hit the ground young muse, open up your wings and soar in spirit.
If offering your love to someone who rips it to shreds, to blow through the breeze, as you fly, make sure to catch all the pieces of your heart, and patch it back together with love for yourself.
Never give your whole heart away, as you can now see, that if you do, you will have nothing left for the pulse that is still beating in your chest.
Always hold a piece of your heart for yourself, for in that, when broken, you will always have something left to rebuild your nest with.
Peace.
